This is the page of the '''Brain Hackers''' aka the Neurohacking/Neuromodulation London Hackspace Group. We do experiments and play around with kits to measure and alter brain activity in a non-invasive way and develop novel accessible neurostimulation means accompanied by real time measurement and feedback. Some of us are trained neuroscientists or electronics engineers, others are hobbyists. All friendly and interested people are welcome to volunteer and participate in trials, but everything is obviously at your own risk (where such risk may exist).

DIY news:
- the BCI workshop at IMF Camp (https://www.emfcamp.org/line-up/2016/239-a-smartphone-brain-computer-interface-workshop) went well, so did the http://www.meetup.com/NeuroTechLDN/events/235087825/?rv=me1 The page for the project is https://jmanart.github.io/smartphone-bci-hardware/
It works, and if anyone wants a kit to try, improve, and develop apps, please contact Colin Rowat <c.rowat@espero.org.uk>
- USB fully software-controlled 2 channel combined electro/TMS/infrared stimulator is now fully operational
- PoC code that internetworks BCI's from various vendors will be available soon - it already works on Macs with Mindwave and Muse.
- We have obtained an intranasal electrode which can be used both for electrostimulation of medial prefrontal cortex and nootropics electrophoresis. Started experimenting with electrophoresis of 20 % solution of Piracetam
